Chapter 970

Chapter 970However, he wasn't able to live that long now, so there wasn't a need for someone to take care of him.
He might as well leave his assets to his blood-related grandchildren rather than to someone he had no
blood relations with at all.
“No. You can keep them for yourself. The kids don't need them,” Natalie rejected coldly.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookHarrison was starting to get upset. “That's your own opinion. Why aren't you asking what the kids
think?”
“We don't want it,” Connor said, shaking his head. “We have money, old man.”
“Yes. We have money,” Sharon chimed in.
Harrison was angered by the words “old man.” He glared at the boy and gritted, “You- What did you just
call me? Old man?”
“Was I wrong?” Connor feigned innocence as he tilted his head.
A trace of amusement flashed across Natalie's eyes.
This boy must be doing it on purpose.
“Natalie.” The old man couldn't bring himself to take it out on the boy. “How have you been teaching
your children? They haven't greeted their grandpa since they came in, and now he's calling me an old
man?”
“I don't think he's wrong, though. Have you forgotten, Harrison? You were the one who didn't want to
acknowledge them as your grandchildren back then. You even said that they were bastards when I
returned to this country. And you went to their kindergarten and threatened them too. So if you weren't
kind as a grandfather, why should they be filial as your grandchildren?” Natalie stated coolly.Her words caused the bed-ridden man's ears to turn red with embarrassment.
It was obvious that he had recalled what he did.
Indeed, he used to look down on the children who didn't even know who their father was. He hadn't
wanted to accept them as his grandchildren.
But he was extremely remorseful now.
“Mommy, can we go now?” Connor asked, tugging on his mother's hand.
Sharon was beginning to get impatient as well. “I want to leave too, Mommy.”
“Okay. We'll leave now,” Natalie smiled at them. The smile disappeared the moment she looked up, a
cold look replacing it. “All right. Since you're not dead for now, I'll be taking my leave. Don't worry
though. I'll come and visit you often. It's the most I can do as your daughter.”
With that, she took her children's hands and left.
The woman seemed to have thought of something when she reached the door. “Oh, right. I already told
Jared that you're dying soon. He's on his way back, and he'll also be visiting you often like me.”
“Really?” Harrison asked.
“Yes. Despite everything, we're alive because of you. We wouldn't exist if it weren't for you. That's why
we'll be sending you off when you die, nothing else. Take care, then.”
Once she was done speaking, Natalie opened the door and stepped out.
Outside, Shane was leaning against the cold wall with Susan standing beside him. She seemed to be
talking to him.Yet, there wasn't a single reaction from him. Instead, he looked like he was resting with his eyes
closed.
“Darling,” Natalie called, and the kids greeted their dad in unison as they ran toward him.
Hearing them, Shane opened his eyes and took the kids in his embrace. “Are you done talking?”
“Yes.” Natalie nodded.
“Let's go, then.” The children held each other's hands, and Shane held the woman's hand.
She smiled and said, “Let's go.”
The four of them then made their way to the elevator. They acted as though Susan was invisible the
whole time, and she stomped on the ground angrily.
Natalie knew what expression the woman had on without having to turn back to look.
“What did she say to you earlier, Darling?” she asked once they were in the elevator.
Staring at the screen in the elevator, Shane said, “She was asking about Jasmine.”
“Did you tell her anything?”
“No.” He shook his head.
Natalie smiled at that. “It's fine even if you tell her. She can't save Jasmine anyway.”
